WPC: Minimalist

The WordPress Weekly Photo challenge this week is Minimalist. Jen H says “An artfully executed minimalist photograph is anything but mundane. It illustrates a moment in time, or an artistic perspective, with simplicity and grace.”

I wanted to get my post in this week, but initially couldn’t think of anything sufficiently minimalist apart from my beauty in decay…. I initially thought of large areas of shadow for the negative space, but as yet, I have no such thing! Glad you like it 🙂

Yes I’ve been having the same problem – all my minimalist ones are of the sea, sand and sky which I post all the time anyway. Maybe something different will turn up during the week. Your take on the challenge was inspiring.

I like the triangular composition, Sue. My eye naturally rotates around those three elements. Minimalism is always a difficult challenge. Personally I don’t think you actually need a focal point, although the challenge suggests that approach. Minimalism can also be very simply an abstract wash of colour. I’m off to see what everyone else has got up to with this challenge.
